Yay!

Getting pumped about White Rock. Here's a bit of nostalgia from last year's race:

Still no major knee issues! I'm beginning to think it really is better!

It's so exciting to finally be back to calling 3miles an easy run. I've been doing GREAT on my training schedule- 5:30 AM is a lot easier when you know there's NINE other people waiting for you, which is what happened today. We don't meet until 6, but the meeting spot's exactly 1mile from my house, so I get 2 extra miles in by waking up a bit early.

5:30 AM used to be obscene hour for me, one I was only conscious for if it had been a really amazing night. I certainly never began a day at that time. It's so worth it though, to start of the day in such a great way, with great people. It really helps me focus for the rest of the day, too.

I've noticed that on sleepy days, where nothing starts to get done until after 10, I'm much less productive and much more tired than on days I get my ass out of bed and begin the day with something productive and challenging. It's the law of inertia.
